The cosmogonic myths thus far discussed are derived
from western and central Indonesia;
and we may now turn to the eastern portion of this area, where another type
appears, albeit the available material is exceedingly scanty. Indeed, of true
myth-material we have only fragments from the small islands north-east of Timor
(the Sermata and Leti
Islands)." These
seem to indicate a belief in a sky-world and a world below, of whose origins,
however, nothing is said." On the other hand, it may be noted that in all
of the islands, from and including Timor to the Kei Islands, there is a belief
in a male deity living in the sky and associated chiefly with the sun, and a
female deity dwelling in or regarded as one with the earth, these being
described as husband and wife, and being supposed to mate annually at the time
of the monsoon, while it was also believed that the sky once was closer to the
earth. In Ceram, Buru, and Amboina, the
definiteness of this concept of the heaven father and earth mother becomes
clearer; but we have no myths, not even fragments, regarding them. In view of
the almost total lack of cosmogonic myth material from this region, as well as
from Halmahera and the other islands of the Moluccas, it is premature to draw
any conclusions from the resemblance of this concept to the similar, but much
more highly developed, ideas in Polynesia; yet it is difficult to avoid the
impression that the strength of the belief here in the extreme eastern portion
of Indonesia, which is geographically nearest to the Polynesian area, and its
apparent absence elsewhere farther west, are significant. Further material,
however, alone can settle the question.

REFLECTION

The
‘sky-world’ and the ‘world below’ reflect the synergy of the spiritual
dimensions (‘sky-world’) and the material dimensions (‘world below’). The
bifurcation of reality into the spiritual and material indicates right away the
Law of Duality/Polarity, one of the cosmic laws as per Theos Sophias’
teachings.

‘Of
whose origins, however, nothing is said’ signifies the state of silence that
had swept mankind about cosmogony and anthropogenesis after the Deluge (end of
glacial period/sinking of Poseidonis/Atlantis).

Such
a state of mum is counterbalanced, thankfully, by another mythos in which a
Male Deity and Female Deity are said to have been involved in creating the
Earth and humans. Again, the Law of Duality obtaining. The Male Deity is
associated with the Sun, the Above, which signifies the spiritual domains; the
Female Deity, with the material domains. Theos Sophia indeed associates the
Male Principle with the Idea, the Spirit, while the Feminine Principle
signifies materialization, matter, physicality.

Equally
revealed are the Solar Logos, Deity of the solar system, which could explain
the Male Deity’s association with the Sun. And, the goddess Gaia, Female Deity,
who in-dwells in the Earth which Lady Gaia chose as her body.

The origin-legends of the north-west Borneo tribes are related to the type of cosmogonic myth
which has just been considered in that they set forth belief in a primeval sea
and in the important part played by birds, although they imply something more
of a direct creation. According to one of these," in the beginning there
was nothing but a wide-spread sea, over which flew two birds, who, diving,
brought up two objects like eggs in size and shape, from one of which one bird
made the sky, while from the other his fellow created the earth. As the size of
the latter exceeded that of the former, it was pressed together in order that
it might fit, its resultant crumples and folds producing the mountains and
valleys. Other versions 52 speak of an original deity without legs or arms, who
seems to have been supported upon an animal, and who by an act of will created
two birds, which then formed heaven and earth.

REFLECTION

The sea signifies the astral plane that is governed
by the water element. Incidentally, when more advanced species of plants and
animals appeared on Earth, the vibratory frequency of the planet was still of
the astral or 2nd plane modality, while the entire planet was
practically covered by water.

The bird archetype has a number of meanings in
cosmogony & divine wisdom. One is the phallic/Desire signification, without
which existence and procreation cannot be possible. Another meaning is that of
the ‘air element’, as birds are creatures of the air, which therefore refers to
the mental plane (3rd plane) that is governed by the same element. Still
another meaning is that of the Supreme Being, whenever the bird is a ‘dove’
that is among the standard archetypes for the Almighty Father.

The narrative reveals the interactions or
interventions happening at the mental astral planes prior to the full descent
of human souls into the dense physical planes. The ‘egg is shape’ is revelatory
of the first two (2) ‘root races’ that were asexual in reproduction, and were
of shadowy etheric constitution.

The ‘original deity without legs or arms’ clearly
speaks of the Creator Beings—collectively identified in the singular—who were
amorphous. From the 4th through the 7th planes, beings do
not have forms, though they can manifest to mystics and/or rishis with forms
and even create temporary bodies to be able to fully manifest before their
bakthas (devotees).

One more version may be given, that from the Karo
Battak, who, like the Dairi, live north of the Toba. According to this, Batara
Guru, the heaven deity, and his wife, who was the daughter of the divinity of
the underworld, full of sorrow at their childlessness, determined to try the
effect of penance in poverty and seclusion, and accordingly went to live in a
little hut by the sea. Here they planted a small garden, which was destroyed by
a great serpent that came out of the water, but when Batara Guru went to drive
it away, the monster demanded that he put food into its mouth. Fearing lest his
hand be bitten off, Batara Guru wedged open the mouth of the serpent with his
sword, and withdrawing his hand, found upon his finger a magic ring which would
grant his every wish. The serpent then returned to the sea, and in due course
of time, aided by the ring, the wife of Batara Guru presented him with three
sons and three daughters. One of these sons created the world in the space
between the upper world and the under-world, making it with seven handfuls of
soil sent him by his father, who, when the earth was finished, suspended it
from the sky by seven silken cords. The newly created world caused the
underworld to be darkened, which aroused anger in that one of the three sons
who had taken up his residence there. Therefore he shook the world so violently
that it was destroyed. Seven times this was repeated, the earth being made anew
each time, until the world-maker besought his father to aid him, and this
Batara Guru did, setting up an iron pillar which sup-ported four cross-beams,
upon which the world was then founded. After this the underworld-brother could
shake the world (as indeed he does to this day), but was unable to destroy it.

REFLECTION

‘Batara
Guru and wife’ suggest strongly the coupled role of Brahma & elohistic
forces on one hand, and that of Shakti (Mother) and the angelic forces on the
other hand. ‘Divinity of the underworld’ signifies the deific beings assigned
to help create humans in the astral and physical dimensions which collectively
are ‘underworld’.

Both
forces, from Brahma-Elohim to Shakti-devic/angelic were to collaborate in
birthing humans down on the lower planes or ‘underworld’. The ‘little garden’
is the devachan to which early humans had direct access to, that access later
to be destroyed by the descent into the dense plane on account of succumbing to
the dictates of the reptiloid species that intervened in the evolutionary
process.

The
‘7 handful of soil’ refers to the 7 subcontinental regions of each of the
supercontinents that emerged on Earth’s lower globes or planes. Pangea (also
called Hyperboria) and Lemuria were the first supercontinents populated by
humans, each one with 7 distinct sub-continents or regions. Current geologists
know of a super-continent before Pangeaa, but there were no humans yet in that
primordial land mass.

The
clash between the ‘new world of 7’ and the ‘underworld’ refers to the changes
that went on in Earth as it cooled down further from its primordial hot stage, each
time producing new land mass configurations. This facet of the myth can be
extrapolated, to show that the process of geological-electromagnetic changes
will continue into the future, thus changing the land mass configurations
across the eons to come.

The
clash between the Reptilian/Dvil forces and the Divine/Light forces is clearly
shown in the mythos. As revealed, the reptilians reside in the astral dimension
that is signified by the sea.

Four-cross
beams that were supported by iron pillar, which is the foundation of human life,
signify the four elements of earth, water, air, fire as they combine
(Quaternary principle), blend and harmonize to constitute the material vehicles
for making living possible. ‘Iron pillar’ signifies the over 100+ elements on
earth—discovered today by chemists—that can indeed support existence down here.

The Dairi Battak, who live to the north of the Toba
and are .more or less in contact with the Muhammadanized Garo, have a version
26 which presents interesting differences. Batara Guru (Sanskrit Bhattara
Guru), the highest of the gods, once sent a servant to get some venison, which
was greatly desired by the deity's wife, who was about to give birth to a
child. The hunt being unsuccessful, the divinity then sent the raven on the
same quest, but he also could find no such food any-where in the realms of the
gods. In the course of his search, however, he discovered a cave, in which was
a pit whose bottom he could not discern. The longest vine was too short to
measure its depth, and a stick thrown down the opening disappeared without a
sound to indicate that it reached bottom. Determined to solve the mystery, the
raven flew down into the opening, and after a long journey in complete darkness
at last reached the surface of a wide-extending sea. After exploring in vain,
the raven wished to return in order that he might report his discovery, but
could not retrace his way to the opening through which he had come, though
luckily he found floating upon the sea the bamboo which he had thrown down the
hole, and on this he rested.

Meanwhile Batara Guru became impatient, and
accompanied by several attendants, he flew down the dark opening in the cave,
taking with him from the sky-world a handful of earth, seven pieces of wood, a
chisel, a goat, and a bumble-bee; and reaching the surface of the sea, he built
a raft from the pieces of wood. The raven now appeared, sitting upon the
floating piece of bamboo, and at his request Batara Guru called to the eight
wind-directions, whereupon darkness at once gave place to light. By his command
the goat, accompanied by the bee, went down under the raft to support it on his
horns; but in finishing the raft the chisel broke, and the handle hit the goat
upon the head, which made him shake it violently, and the raft with it, for
which the deity chided him and ordered him to keep still. Then taking the earth
which he had brought with him, Batara Guru spread it upon the raft, thus making
the world, and gave this to the raven for a dwelling-place.

REFLECTION

Another
one of the myths that is so rich in archetypes. Batara Guru (Bathala in
Tagalog) signifies collectively Brahma, deity of the physical universe, and the
Elohim, originally comprising of 7 hierarchs who assisted in the ideation and
materialization of forms.

The
descent from spiritual to the material planes by the souls so created was also
depicted. Venison, raven, bumble bee, and so on, are symbolic of the devic and
elemental forces that would assist in creating vehicles of forms for humans to
embody into in the descent to the material planes.

The
narrative concluded with the formation of the life-supporting dimensions or ontological
planes, ready for evolving the humans that were on the progressive descent to
the physical plane where mental and physical perfection will be achieved. Thus,
spiritual, mental, and physical evolution all happen in synchronous fashion.

Deferring for the moment any discussion of these
tales, we may turn to a third group of myths, i. e. those of the Battak of
Sumatra. The Toba Battak (who of all the Battak tribes are probably the least
influenced by Muhammadan or Indian culture) account for the origin of things as
follows. Mula Dyadi, the highest deity, dwelt in the uppermost of the seven
heavens and had two birds as his servants. Having created three male beings, he
caused a tree to exist in one of the lower heavens, its branches reaching to
the sky; next he made a hen, which perched on the tree and later laid three
eggs, from which came three maidens whom Mula Dyadi gave as wives to his three
sons. The daughter of one of these sons refused to marry a cousin of hers
because he had a face like a lizard and a skin like a chameleon, and devoted
her time to spinning. One day she dropped her spindle, which fell down from the
sky-world. On the thread so unrolled she then descended to the surface of the
sea which stretched everywhere below. In this primeval ocean swam or lay a great
serpent on whose head the heavenly maiden spread a handful of earth brought
down at her request from Mula Dyadi by one of his bird servants; and thus she
formed the world. The serpent, however, disliked the weight upon his head, and
turning over, caused this newly made world to be engulfed by the sea. Thereupon
Mula Dyadi created eight suns, whose heat should dry up the sea, and this being
done in part, the divine maiden thrust a sword into the body of the serpent,
revealed by the shrinking sea, and fastened his body firmly in an island block
that he might never again thus destroy the world. With more soil she then
re-founded the earth; but after this, having questioned her as to what was to
be done with the youth whom she refused as husband, Mula Dyadi declared that
she now must marry him, and wrapping the unwelcome suitor together with a
blowgun in a mat, he threw him down upon the earth. Unharmed by his fall, and
feeling hungry, he shot at a dove which escaped unwounded, but caught the arrow
dexterously and flew with it to the village where the heavenly maiden dwelt.
Following in pursuit, the youth discovered the girl who had before refused him,
found her more tractable, and married her; and so they became the ancestors of
mankind.

REFLECTION

‘7 heavens’ signify the 7 subplanes of the
heaven-worlds or devachan.Four (4) of
the subplanes are in the 3rd plane (mental plane) while three (3)
are in the 4th plane (higher mental or causal plane). The 4th
plane is dimension of the arupa or formless, though already a material plane; 3rd
plane, the beginning of the rupa (form) dimensions. Rupa moves down to the
physical plane.

At that level, certain beings called the Elohistic
Forces or elohim could have been
niched to aid in the materialization of forms, the same forms thus used as
subtle bodies as vehicles for souls in descent phases of devolution. They are
collective referred to as Mula Dyadi in the myth, the term Dyadi thus
resonating with a similar term Dhyani(angels, devata) in southern Asia. Mula contains the morphemes MU LA. In Tagalog, mula means ‘from’, which is referent for ‘source’.

The birthing of Twinflame souls, which signifies
the Law of Duality as applied to soul division, was also revealed. The
devolution goes on to show that the early humans were ‘egg-born’ or
hermaphroditic, as per Theos Sophia discourse, was the fact till the
mid-Lemurian racial families.

The devolution phase goes on, revealing the
intervention of the reptilians and their role in the rapid descent or Fall of
mankind. The ‘war in the heavens’ was suggested in the conflict between the
maiden (signifying mankind with aid of Divine Forces) and the serpent
(signifying the reptilian species of Draco and Orion).

In the final phase of the myth, the maiden (early
Terran) was married to the hybrid reptilian-human, the marriage thus beginning
the long lines of next sub-races of humans on Earth.
